JLPT N3 — Vocabulary (語彙)

This segment assesses accurate knowledge of word meanings and proper context-based usage.

Question Types (問題)

  1. 文脈規定 (Contextual Notes) (~11 items): Select the most appropriate word to complete a sentence based on context.

How to Study This

Study vocabulary inside example sentences rather than relying solely on single-word translations. Pay extra attention to nuance, collocations (verbs that naturally pair with nouns), and transitive/intransitive verb pairs. Practice with N3-level vocabulary workbooks and categorize words by theme.
